Why Children photography is most interesting and tough also

As subjects for photography, children are of universal and inexhaustible interest.Even when they are not our own, their spontaneity, energy and expressiveness make them subjects of unequalled appeal in many branches of photography, weather it is candid or studio work, portraiture or photojournalism.

Applying the photographer’s skills

Mastery of the basic skills of the photographer does not involve a long and painful apprenticeship. Obviously, the more you practice and look at your results with a critical eye the more confidently you will handle your equipment and react to the photographic possibilities of a situation. What every photographer should be aiming for is an instinctive response to the exciting potential that children provide. The first essential therefore, is to have the camera ready to hand and loaded.

Applying the photographer’s skills to the subject of children requires as much understanding on the way they behave and reacts as of the techniques of photography. A little experience will quickly show you how the characteristics of children their spontaneity, their vitality, their rapid changes of mood and their relatively short span of interest- give wonderful opportunities for exciting photographs while compelling you to be adaptable in the way you go about taking photographs. Success does not necessarily depend on capturing dramatic or important moments but it does mean being ready to seize an expression or a gesture the moment it comes. There are few other fields of photography where you have to be as alert and attentive if you are to convey the essence of a moment.
